Its main uses include facilitating local access, medical contingencies, charter activities, and specialized regional logistics, especially for tourists exploring the area's natural beauty and hiking trails. The airport has minimal facilities, offering basic shelter and handling, but no extensive amenities like large lounges, shopping, or dining options. There is no significant historical information readily available beyond its ongoing role as a vital connection for the isolated Borgarfjörður eystri region.
